As this issue makes the News
three years old we feel it our duty as
well as a privilege to brifley sketch
its history as n county publication
and tender t ur thanks to those
who have rendered it substantial
aid Born of pure necessity in
times of adversity it has made a
continuous struggle for its exist
ence but from its first issue to the
present its motto has been the
advancement of the industrial 3
commmericial and moral interest
of this and adjoining counties In
its efforts along this line we feel
that it has received the hearty in
dorsement of the best people i n
this part of Kentucky that its
efforts have to some extent pro
duced desired results From its
beginning its growth has been
i steady and today it reaches more
ippreciativo readers than at any
ether stage of its existence and
Ifrobably moro than any other
publication in this Congressional
District In political matters it
has taken a firm and decided
nt none of its rights

Democratic Party Carries the State
The sun shines bright in my
old Kentucky home for the Dem
ocratic party has scored the great
est victory it has ever known
Mr Beckham is elected by a good
safe majority it ranging from
eight to fifteen thousand From
every section of the State comes
reports of increased majorities and
clearly indicates that the Demo I
cratic party is strong enough and
willing to save the State in every
crisis In this fight Democratic
sentiment overrides the all com
bined powers of money coertion
and fraud
At this hour i t seems clear
that only two Republican Con
gressman in this State have been
elected Taking everythinginto
consideration the Kentucky Dem
ocrats made the best fight ° nd
scored the greatest victory in the
history of the State but we must
take the bitter and the sweet
It seems clear that McKinley
has won in the National contest
and unless our party has won in
the lower house of Congress
McKinleyism will stil dominate
in National affairs unchecked and
unrestrainedAt the returns are not
sufficient for ujcitojgive a correct
report from the States but they
clearly indicate Mcinleys eleo
tion

majority a Democratic Governor

Now York heaves up 100 Mn
In our nex e wit give
the correc returns as it is l pos
sible to obtain thin now The
fight throughout tile country has
been a great one and the result is
not unexpected fo it would have
been miraculous forffiryan to have
w jn when mIllionS of money cor
porate power of every form and
the streng power of a great party
thoroughly intrenched were all ar
rayed against him The plain
people of the land the wage earn
ers and producers must yet suffer
a little longer to fatten the in
comes of corporate greed We do
not believe that the election of
McKinley voices the honest senti
ment of the majority of the people
for the great corporate interests of
the country acting with the Re
publican party hare put up their
millions to buy intimidate and
coerce the suffrage of the wage
earners of the country but it
seems that the die is cast the
fidht made and lost but we had
rather possess Bryans integrity
abilityand defeat an McKinleys
purchased power over the people
of this country Bryan is greater
in defeat than MoKinley robed in
power and the principles for which
he has s o faithfully contended
will eventually triumph Let no
Democrat be discouraged for the
reward is promised to the true and
faithful
